FST-002 turbine flow rate sensor is ideal for OEM applications involving low flow liquid monitoring. The low cost coupled with 1/2% repeatability makes it an ideal candidate for replacing dispensing timer systems. Unlike existing timing systems, turbine technology is not influenced by changes in system pressure caused by aging filters. The sensor's standard power and output specifications make it easy to retrofit to existing controllers.

The turbine flow sensor is designed to measure the flow of water, gasoline, kerosene, and other light transmitting, non-corrosive liquids of similar viscosity. specifically for small diameter applications, the turbine flow sensor provides accurate, repeatable readings in flow ranges 0.5 to 2 lpm. The higher viscosity of diesel fuel reduces signal repeatability at flow rates below 0.03 GPm. Pressure drops are very low compared to other turbine flow sensors and the bearing system is rated for continuous operation at the upper end of the flow range. The sensors produce a current pulse signal from a Hall-effect mement.
FST-002 flow sensor is specially designed for heating water, non alcoholic beverage, alcoholic beverage, and other low viscosity liquids applications. It is made of PBT material for more high operating temperature.
